Why does Ruby frown upon putting spaces between a function name and the left
parenthesis of its argument lists? Why does it matter? Is there some other
language construct that uses a similar syntax that confuses Ruby so much?

I just ran into an error with code like this:

print ( somefunc ( 1 ) + "abc" )

But rewriting it as below fixed the error:

print ( somefunc( 1 ) + "abc" )
